Homework No. 2 1. Water flows from Point A to Point B in a soil profile, a distance of 250 feet. The elevation of Points A and B are 543 and 461 feet, respectively. Piezometers have been installed at both points, and their water levels are 23 and 74 feet (distance from point to water level in piezometer), respectively. Using this information, compute the average hydraulic gradient between the points. 2 Desktop 8Solution
Average hydraulic gradient ; i = h/L
h = difference in head between 2 piezometers
L = distance between 2 piezometers
Elevation of piezometer at point A = 543+23
= 566 feet
Elevation of piezometer at point B = 461+74
= 535 feet
So the difference in piezometers ; h = 566-535
= 31 feet
Length between 2 piezometers ; L = 250 feet
Average hydraulic gradient ; i = 31/250
= 0.124
